If anybody has any suggestions for learning the basics of regex I'd greatly appreciate them

I know there are plenty of sites where I can dump a regex string and get a translation but I'd like to know a little bit

@farewell_ladmin i recently gave a 20 minute session on beginning #regex for #powershell. Thinking about recording it and put on the internet. if that's interesting, give me a shout and I'll raise the priority of it🙂

@farewell_ladmin Have you tried using ChatGPT for this yet? Obviously it’s pretty good at handling the usual “write a regex query to match _____” stuff, but it’s also nice to paste in a query and ask it to explain how it works.

Also of note, asking ChatGPT to “teach me the basics of regular expressions” provided a better answer than I expected it to.

@brndnsh I have but some of it is work related so I can't entirely use ChatGPT for it. Maybe I'll ask it about the basics 🤔
@farewell_ladmin Happy to help. I unfortunately got very good at regex a long time ago.
Also, and I hate to ask, which flavor? PCRE?
